The Texas Division of Emergency Management opened a statewide online damage survey after this weekend’s winter storm, according to a report from NewsRadio 1080 KRLD. The Individual State of Texas Assessment Tool (iSTAT) is collecting residential, commercial, and agricultural damage reports at the Texas Department of Emergency Management’s iSTAT portal to help quantify impacts and guide recovery resources.
Officials said voluntary, accurate submissions may inform eligibility for state and federal disaster aid, including federal assistance thresholds. The survey does not replace insurance claims; assistance is available via a hotline.
Damage from the storm has already been reported in North Texas, including widespread structural collapses and marina damage near Lake Texoma, as previously reported by The Dallas Express.
